Somedays you eat the bear and somedays the bear eats you

So only can find bear poop. Inlaws house down the road a mile has had trash ripped open twice and I have the bear on night camera 500' from my house. However no day time sighting of the bear yet.

Today I did get my first turkey while hunting. I said in the hospital I was finaly going to take the class and go hunting. So today was a victory for me.

As luck would have it however I winged a second turkey when I shot. So only being allowed 1 turkey I reluctantly carried both to my vehicle pondering what to do. Well as luck would have it, who pulls up? The local game warden helped me decide what to do; he took one and gave me a $124 fine for 'over limit'. He couldn't have been nicer, but he's got a job to do and I respect them.

So for me, I'm happy I got a bird and the kids and I got to grill it up. 11 months ago I didn't know if I'd see another wild turkey so I will pay the fine. He said being a first time hunter its an honest mistake in fall. He said I was so polite he would recommend no loss of hunting license. I didn't tell him, but how can I not be happy, I'm alive and so far so good.

Two weeks ago.I had a scare. Turned out likely prostititus. It could have been prostate ca. So my 8lb hen cost $124, it was awesome.

It tastes like chicken,

small hello
Well, you got a turkey and in the running for a bear, what's the limit on bear poop?... any deer in your sights? As for the game warden, they just know when to be around and you're right... courtesy is the only way to go...planning a hunt does take on a special feel when you've got cancer in your resume. Enjoy the woods!

By the way... LOVE the scar Flatlander... mine is an inverted "T" on my lower abdomen...(well, duh Gordo.. it sure wouldn't be on my upper chest for a kidney extraction now would it?)

I must say I have a wonderful grasp of the obvious!

After my bear hunting barbs, don't you find it interesting your fine was $124?

Love the story,

Don't mess with the Warden...
Perhaps we should refer to you as "The Game Warden" from now on. I didn't realize the breadth of your reach. Fortunately I don't hunt, but I was caught "parking" with a girlfriend once...but that's a different story, kinda like your doggie commentary. LOL

Gary,

Warden? Been called worse

You'd be astonished with my reach. Watch yourself Gary; you'll never see me coming. . .
U provide way too much ammunition.
